This is pretty good. I used Saudi Arabian dried dates that were not very hard, nice ripe bananas, 10% table cream, Iranian rose water (which is superior) & ground allspice sprinkled on top in place of the freshly grated nutmeg as we do not consume intoxicants. Made as a part of Suhoor (the meal before dawn and fajr prayer in the month of Ramadan)

Extremely easy to make and it was very nice with pitted dates. It would be fantastic with fresh dates.
